Night sweats

So i had my Hemi on october 8th and then had the rest removed december 16th. All went went (awaiting bloods and followup next week).

However since the total thyroidectomy I've noticed I'm having night sweats, I'm only a petite person and generally dont sweat that much at all day to day but I am waking up wet through to the point that ny hair is wet.

Is this normal? Could this be a side effect? Of the surgery or the levothyroxine?

This isn’t normal but the result of the levothyroxine dose being incorrect. I had this last year, with terrible nights sweats and a racing heart. My dosage was reduced 4 days a week and the side effects disappeared very quickly.

When you meet with your consultant it is worth mentioning this. I hope you get your dosage reduced next week.

As Runner has mentioned, it could very well be down to the thyroxine dose not quite being right for you. The good thing is that you should have had your bloods done this week sometime, so within the next two weeks you'll hopefully hear back about the results of those.

I just wondered too, could I ask what age you are? Please feel free not to answer if you aren't comfortable revealing that. I ask, because I'm just wondering if there's a possibility that you might be menopausal?
